Right-Wing
In the blog titled Fox
News downplays Khashoggi's murder: “Saudi Arabia is one of the safest places to
be a journalist in the world” by Timothy Johnson. Johnson discusses the
significance of Fox news seeming to belittle and sweep under the rug the murder
of the Journalist killed while visiting Saudi Arabia. The author gives
information that leads you to his stance, which is dominant. As someone who is
not very educated on the murder I would say I would’ve liked to know some
background knowledge of the journalist, helping me have more of an emotional connection
to the story. On the contrary after reading the blog I have a good understanding
of why Fox News would portray the story with such a subtle approach. The
sources he chose to provide fulfilled the questions I may have had while
reading. Johnson’s blog shows his bias--He does not believe that the story should
be swept under the rug, which explains why he chose to include this topic in
his blog, to spread awareness of Fox News and their bias with the Republican
party. Timothy Johnson’s credibility is substantial. Much of his work has been
focused around Right-Wing extremism, making him perfect for such topic. In
conclusion, I would rate the blog an 8 out of 10, very nice but at the end of
reading it I was wanting more, feeling not fulfilled. If Johnson wasn’t educated
on the topic before writing this, he did a well job of doing his research to
get the intended message across.
